Interesting info domains

I want to know, are info domains good? I mean does it affect SEO?

It doesn't affect the site SEO-wise, but may affect the way your users perceive the site I guess.

doesn't affect seo at all. .com is more memorable so people get .com's instead.

Voodooman has a spectacular aura about
.Com is King - .info is for desposable throwaway sites

But that doesn't mean you can't use .info. Many people consider .info as spam sites. But not everyone does. Sometimes I can get at least 11 .info domains (@.60 each) for the price of one .com.

I mostly use .info for ppc > am. This past Christmas I did very well with using .info's. I would buy for example golfgifts.info or christmasgifts.info. I would setup 1 page affiliate sites with them (cookie cutter) or dynamic storefronts. Throw traffic at them using msn, looksmart, ask, adwords (mostly all free due to coupons).
People would click and go to the affiliate company, they bought and I got paid. Many .info's didn't convert. But a great deal of others did. Those that did, I transfered them to a more reliable hosting company and will keep them. And spruce up and redo the sites. I might even go after the .com if I can get it.
Those that didn't convert, I just let them expire.

As a matter of fact, in some cases .info would have worked a little better than a .com. Here's my logic. A savvy internet user would stay clear of a .info. Thus they won't come to my site (not click on my ppc ad) and not do anything because they know it's an affiliate site. Whereas a noob doesn't know better and will still click on my affiliate links and buy from my affiliate company.

But again, .com is king. But you could make money with .info still. But just understand it's basically to test a niche and be prepared to dispose of them.

I use .info domains, if the price is right. I agree that if you're going to put alot of work into it, it's usually worth springing for the .com.

This is a shameless plug, but I outlined how I decide what TLD to buy here:

I'm with Voodooman here..
The majority of average surfers don't associate .info with spam / crap sites. They just care about what product or whatever they are searching for. So I also use a lot of .infos for testing out both arbi and ppc->am. If a site turns out really good and you want to make it look more professional, you can always get a .com for it later.

As far as SEO, domain type doesn't matter. But if you're using Country TLDs (like .co.uk), it can have an effect on your ranking in that country's listings.

Especially if you put the site on servers in that country.

i only use .info when i want to make a one-page affiliate page.

.com only for a real website I tend to keep.

Have to agree with Imagesandwords. I honestly have a few .info site's and nothing is associated with spam by my users. I think if you can find a very high quality domain on .info for only like $2.98 then take it.

I have thrown up .info sites as test sites or little quick sites that I make. I would not use one as a big site though. Pretty much the same as most.
